huh

idk tbh

[sonic sand]

i can't play the game i paid 50$ for

[dusky burrow]

a corrupted file or something

[sonic sand]

lets see if i just

go back

1

version

holy shit i did it

@dusky burrow

it was my cloud

messing everything up

OMG

thanks for trying to help

@dusky burrow

now i can play my funny

fascism simulator

[dusky burrow]

Nice

[woven gate]

i cheered when i heard he bought a yacht

this man deserves every good thing in life

[vernal rapids]

So far furthest I got with Czech

[woven gate]

Czechoslovakia can be remarkably broken but nobody knows it

on extensive conscription i had an army of 1.4 Million

[vernal rapids]

😂 bruh I did all this with like 24 divs of infantry and 9 or 11 tank divisions

@woven gate

[limpid field]

did they add new focuses to khotan

[dusky burrow]

Yeah

[woven gate]

exactly

well then again Czechoslovakia before Germany messed them up was probably the 7th strongest Military on earth

[vernal rapids]

lol

[limpid field]

really cool i think idk probably not

[woven gate]

maybe 5th now that i think about it

they were probably stronger than Italy

[vernal rapids]

lol wait till u see my templates 😭

There cursed

[woven gate]

i use inf blocks as Czechoslovakia

[limpid field]

they also added new advisors

[woven gate]

i can push out about 45 by the time Germany comes knocking

[limpid field]

really cool portraits

[woven gate]

you must be a fan of light tanks

[sonic sand]

ew

light tanks

[vernal rapids]

Yea

[woven gate]

they're alright

[sonic sand]

brodie their light tnaks

[vernal rapids]

Easy to mass produce

[dusky burrow]

yeah that light tank division is not the most combat effective

[woven gate]

i'd take Mediums if i could but even then i'm not a tank guy

i'm an Infantry guy

[vernal rapids]

Well I did this good with those two templates 😂

[woven gate]

unapologetically

[woven gate]

if you beat Germany as Czechoslovakia you're basically unstoppable pretty much

[faint fiber]

eye twitches none of these focuses are finished and they dont do anything. my brain is losing my sanity, why would someone release a mod that isnt finished!?

[night field]

the germans never get far into the soviets

[faint fiber]

see kids this is why we dont attack the USSR

[crisp wyvern]

Playing as manchukuo never felt this epic before

Having sabaton playing in the background while holding off against the Japanese horde is just

Damn

Metal asf

Japanese took 371,400 casualties against me

[fickle thicket]

gg germany

usually they at the danube late 41

[dusky burrow]

still not? oh wow

i don't think the mastery gain changes actually do anything btw

[smoky prairie]

The latest Modern tank design in my soviet run. Incorporates gun stabilization, a rangefinder, sloped armor, and a mechanical ballistic computer.

[dusky burrow]

add a few turrets if you can

[smoky prairie]

Modern tanks don't get those

[heavy vigil]

better hope its an IC bloat mod

[smoky prairie]

its 1950 atm and I have close to 700 mil factories. cost is irrelevant

[heavy vigil]

cost is always relevant

[smoky prairie]

Not anymore

So many factories that I'm not actually using them all

and still conquering the world

[dusky burrow]

oh right

[dusky burrow]

i think they are using welded armor tbh

[smoky prairie]

Yes, I'm using welded armor. Cost is irrelevant with close to 700 mil factories

This was my old design (heavy tank) and I have close to 40,000 of these now:

[night field]

what even happened to the german ai

they used to atleast stand a chance against the soviets before

[smoky prairie]

in my run above or in general?

[night field]

in general

[terse skiff]

pdx buffed soviet ai in the new patch

[smoky prairie]

Don't know then. Not qualified to answer that question.

[night field]

they never even get to kiev in nearly every historical run i play

[smoky prairie]

In my run, I crushed the Axis by 1943, but that was because I rushed Germany (via poland) to attack them in 1938 before they could even anschluss

[night field]

i can only play germany really well

i kinda suck as any other major nation

but the germans have been way weaker

[thorn sleet]

Honestly even in base game if you know how to play you can beat the Germans without a sweat.

[tulip thorn]

Base game ai is so easy

Ai is braindead

[dusky burrow]

yeah even as a minor you can have quite the game impact

[polar radish]

Hm face any tips for how to sea lion

[dusky burrow]

are you doing tanks

what dlcs do you have

[surreal hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/sea-lion-gif-6274474972916726262

[polar radish]

Ya

[polar radish]

All

[atomic grove]

i just realized they added this focus

[tulip thorn]

Took them awhile

But it exists

Its a nice little thing

[atomic grove]

yeah

idk when it was added though

[tulip thorn]

Its funny because anyone can form Nato, but only the ussr can form the Warsaw pact

[atomic grove]

speaking of anyone

the philippines

even if fascist

can form nato

for some reason

[polar radish]

Nvm no graveyard of empires or no comp

[tulip thorn]

Yeah everyone can

[atomic grove]

it sounds so stupid

[tulip thorn]

I love it though

Paradox please dont change how the nato decision works

[atomic grove]

equatorial country forming an alliance meant to counter threats in the north atlantic region

real

[tulip thorn]

I would never forgive them if they changed it to be more realistic

[surreal hamlet]

I love it when my Pacific country can form the North Atlantic Treaty Organization

[tulip thorn]

Same

[dusky burrow]

13 amtracs + 6 medium spgs with support companies logistics, pioneers, medium flame tanks, light tank recon, and something else

[heavy vigil]

wdym it is realistic

[dusky burrow]

something else is either armored signals or hospitals typically

[tulip thorn]

So true

[vital cove]

how do you form nato

never saw anything for it

(i never play historical)

[tulip thorn]

Its a decision

[vital cove]

how do u get it

[tulip thorn]

Playing on hist isnt even a requirement

I dont really know exactly how it shows up

All that I know is, I win a giant war and it shows up

[surreal hamlet]

Can Germany form it?

[tulip thorn]

yes

I've done it several times lol

[surreal hamlet]

Ig I just never played long enough to get it

I usually play until 47-49

[tulip thorn]

Thats long enough

[surreal hamlet]

Odd

[tulip thorn]

I dont know the exact requirements for the decision to pop up

[surreal hamlet]

I usually oppose Hitler so that might prevent it

[tulip thorn]

It doesnt

[surreal hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/higod-gorjunka-o-gente-gente-gritos-gif-5907859856283781933

Central European Alliance is better anyway

[polar radish]

Question, why do so many people go SPG’s and TD’s over Medium Tanks

Also would you suggest going w amtraks in general for my mech or just for them

[opal nymph]

I played China and formed NATO lol

[dusky burrow]

more attack

also for mediums less units needed with spgs and tds than tanks

[dusky burrow]

if you can afford it then yeah

[surreal hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/qinshihuang-qin-shi-huang-china-gif-9826980687122513713

[polar radish]

more soft I’m guessing?

And TD’s have more hard?

But I’m assuming for MP that mediums might be better?

[fickle thicket]

mod?

[atomic grove]

this is vanilla

[fickle thicket]

fr?

[atomic grove]

yes

[fickle thicket]

surprising tbh

[dusky burrow]

you'd do heavies in mp

[viscid mason]

Hello

[dusky burrow]

hello vistula

i saw you were there with the ice carrier incident today

[viscid mason]

I know and many people corrected me both in the RB and hoi4 server. I had a japan mp pratice game that didnt go very well (sino-japan war) oof. So I never built any carriers or planes. I followed the guide but I was told by my mates that the problem with guides like red baron is that it assumes the reader is a competitive skilled player.

[dusky burrow]

was china a player?

[viscid mason]

No its was an ai player (the communist china player did nothing) which made it kind of embarrassing tbh. I invaded shanghai and a portion south but I forgot to secure the manchuria-menjiang border. Also since I followed the 72 2 width shell divisions i converted to normal divisions had little guns.

[heavy vigil]

do you want to practice china war? :D

smile

[viscid mason]

Nah im kind of tired and going to bed. Yeah i think im probably going to play a minor in the future such as manchuria if I ever do a sino-jap war again.

[heavy vigil]

the templates in rb for china war are just wrong for vanilla

[heavy vigil]

not right now but later? :DDD

[viscid mason]

Oh that's why

[heavy vigil]

well theyre not wrong as in bad

[viscid mason]

Maybe tommorrow if I have time

[heavy vigil]

but theyre wrong as in your xp is different

and in vanilla you dont edit for free

and start with an army

so if you remove 3 inf batallions from the hohei shidan thats 15 more xp spent on having less hp on your offensive guys

this is maybe better in rb because you get more out, and push more widely

thats not the case in vanilla

[dusky burrow]

Yeah don't do special forces strats before you capitulate China I believe

[dusky burrow]

also I was wondering about that

9/1s?

[dusky burrow]

also yeah that makes sense

[viscid mason]

I thought the main problem which my fellow hoi4 players i was playing with said it was becuase poor production/lacked the industry. I was hoping I could blitzkrieg southwards after my naval invasions but I was suggested not to do that and thay I believe scuffed the run without a southern front.

[dusky burrow]

also when did you invade china

[viscid mason]

In 1937 if I have the save if may share it to you tommorrow if you want to see?

[dusky burrow]

yeah sure

[heavy vigil]

idk why they use it

[viscid mason]

Alright good night everyone.

[heavy vigil]

9/1s are kinda effective but i disagree with them, possibly im just bad tho

[dusky burrow]

good night vistula

It is good if you convert your whole army to 9/1s

[heavy vigil]

well also

why wouldnt you make it paras if its free

[dusky burrow]

Free paras?

[heavy vigil]

if div edit is free

you make it para

or marine ig

[dusky burrow]

ah i see

perhaps it's a bit too expensive?

[remote quarry]

if you play vanilla it's pretty different

obviously

like if you follow it you won't even get total mob

[heavy vigil]

its gun 1...

[remote quarry]

vanilla china war is nontrivial

[remote quarry]

no hp

[dusky burrow]

also true

But in that case should you just not minmax the China war instead of outright losing?

[heavy vigil]

3 less

5 if marine ig

and china doesnt damage you anyway

fake nation

[remote quarry]

hmm?

total mob doesn't prevent you from losing

not having total mob is really bad

[dusky burrow]

also fair

btw casey and topazand, what templates would you guys use on vanilla china war

[remote quarry]

the starting template plus a support artillery

12 width one i mean

and make the hohei shidan larger

[dusky burrow]

how much larger with the hohei shidan

[worthy mural]

Hello everyone! Do I need to buy the game in order to post a translation for a mod? I'm referring to the Steam Workshop.
I have translated the Road to 56 mod into Russian.

[remote quarry]

you can dm the mod's authors and have them add your localization into the mod

or you can post your own localization submod

which do require you to buy the game

[sharp sierra]

[worn hollow]

alr who buffed road to 56 fascist germany civil war side

im boutta throw my headset

[woven gate]

Strat Bombers are OP why didn't anyone tell me this

Strat Bombing as Canada is the meta

[woven gate]

it can NOT be that hard

[worn hollow]

it is

i used to not be

it

it used to be a cakewalk

[woven gate]

RT56 giving germany 1937474737 buffs and calling it a day

that is true germany deadass feels unstoppable later on

[worn hollow]

im just pissed off bc i rock their shit by april

now its 1937

[woven gate]

i'd help but i'm lazy and i don't play germany much

canada main by the grace of god

[tulip thorn]

Germany is a boring major overall, Italy is where its at

[worn hollow]

u cant even do anything w italy

switzerland is where it is

alpine confed 🔥

[woven gate]

italy is fun

i love Canada because you just have a small army but you can spam out your Air Force

and watch like 3 divisions take down 8 or 9

also you get those really long range Destroyers

Escort Shipyards

[tulip thorn]

Canada is the most fun of the commonwealth trees

[woven gate]

so basically you're also anti-submarine

[woven gate]

the most fun of the trees

in general

[tulip thorn]

ehhhh

Its quite old and really only the historical path is good

You cant really do much other than be a really powerful allies minor nation

oh and get mech very very early

Make a few really good tank divs

[woven gate]

i just make inf and spam air

[tulip thorn]

Its pretty fun

[woven gate]

i am the bane of italy

[tulip thorn]

Canada is very much a great tank nation

You get mech really quick

[woven gate]

i never use tanks much anyways

[tulip thorn]

and you have decent industry

[woven gate]

tank divisions are expensive and idk how to make them well

[tulip thorn]

They can be

Tanks are really only good if you have no step back anyway

[woven gate]

i only feel safe using inf and just mech walls

[tulip thorn]

And even then air and inf work just as good

[woven gate]

it's my newest DLC, i'd rather just stay at BBA because the recent DLCs suck

[woven gate]

inf, special forces, and mot/mech walls

i've had a recent interest in Strat Bombers

[dusky burrow]

You also get mech early

as well as good air force bonuses apparently

[woven gate]

The Plan, yeah

[dusky burrow]

which means you can act as a good marine force anywhere in the world

[woven gate]

you can just build air bases generally near wherever you wanna hit and then level it

[woven gate]

i use Mountaineers more than Marines as of recent but i might try that

[dusky burrow]

I would not suggest a world conquest, but you can play off nations that aren't the US

mountaineers are very good infantry too

[woven gate]

i know that much

i might try Paratroopers too

i could see that working well for Canada

[tulip thorn]

I mentioned that

[dusky burrow]

oh you did my bad

[tulip thorn]

Its all good lol

[woven gate]

the light tanks are killing me man

in the inf i mean

[woven gate]

but you get like a 15% cheaper light tank bonus

so you might as well use it

[vernal rapids]

I just needed to boost the infantry a little main thing I use is the tanks template

[vernal rapids]

Hey it got me from this to that 😂

[woven gate]

that's what SF is for

[vernal rapids]

Never use those

[dusky burrow]

what dlcs do you have

[woven gate]

you should give it a try

[vernal rapids]

Vanilla

[woven gate]

drop some Mountaineers in a special inf and use it for main pushes

it's like my main strat as Canada

[plain patio]

Was there a new update germany is so op now

[tulip thorn]

Like all dlc some dlc no dlc?

Vanilla just means no mods

[vernal rapids]

I like armor and mechanized

[dusky burrow]

do you have arms against tyranny

[vernal rapids]

Vanilla no dlc

[dusky burrow]

oh that explains some things

[vernal rapids]

Only dlc I have are what come with the game

[woven gate]

i'm an infantry guy

like i said, inf, special forces, and mot/mech

[heavy vigil]

inf is good

[woven gate]

you need manuever elements but not a ton

you can use air cover and naval landings/paratroopers for encirclements to meet up with fast divisions

use some Light Cruisers to escort and have your Destroyers ready to protect Allied Convoys from U-Boats

[vernal rapids]

Little old but this was my first Argentina run

@woven gate

[woven gate]

i did something similar with Brazil

[vernal rapids]

Guess what those templates where 😭

[woven gate]

same ones?

it took me till 1951 to do similar stuff though

i'd suggest you take a look at some better inf

[vernal rapids]

😭

[woven gate]

i'd at least invest in logi companies

that's gotta eat supply horribly

having a ton of those

you don't need the field hospitals unless you've got like no manpower

[vernal rapids]

Eh not really If I have a shit ton of supply

[woven gate]

just my two cents though

i'm not going out of my way to play argentina

[vernal rapids]

😂

[heavy vigil]

but but but

the hp buff

actually no dlc

yeah ur fine

[vernal rapids]

😂

good carriers, alright BBs (Armor is insane) and meh SHBB as well (simply for the fact you get one for free)

[patent thistle]

i will refit it once the treaty collapses (which spoiler it will)

AI can't pierce any of those armor so it doesnt matter much if the design is meh

[fair horizon]

shbb armor <3

[vital cove]

is this deal in the base game?

which path is that

its kinda crazy

[fair horizon]

from a mod i think he said

[vital cove]

makes sense

[fair horizon]

yeah thats an insane decision either way

[patent thistle]

[patent thistle]

the only slightly bad thing with it that i basically get no economy for 2 years. which, greece doesnt have anyways so really nothing to lose 🤷‍♂️

[fair horizon]

yeah its insane

[snow rain]

no economy for a while which allows you to prevent any naval invasion is slighly op imo

even if designs aren't great

[patent thistle]

"slightly"

[fair horizon]

if you lost your military economy it would be kinda bad

[patent thistle]

no damage to the military economy

[fair horizon]

insane

[grave sonnet]

This is truly an endsieg

[patent thistle]

let me remind you that this is also part of that very tree

[quasi osprey]

I have a few puppets

[fair horizon]

me when i puppet half the world as australia because i wouldnt be able to police it

[patent thistle]

because you basically get no cores as australia lol

[fair horizon]

it took taking china and india to be able to have manpower after taking over half the world lol

[patent thistle]

lol

this fleet is just stupid at this point 😭

[snow rain]

where carrier planes

also, free manpower if you delete them

[fair horizon]

i was wondering if that would be worth it when winning a war to delete a bunch of free ships to get manpower

[patent thistle]

deleting ships gives you barely any manpower

110k for this entire fleet

[ember vine]

when will there be a sale on NCNS

[fair horizon]

like when you beat up minors who have like 80 destroyers,

like romania likes to do

you want a 10% or do you wanna wait 4 years for it to go on 20%?

[ember vine]

I got a 10% already

[patent thistle]

ah yes time to get some free generals

[ember vine]

but 10% is not enough

shitty computer keyboard

[patent thistle]

nothing will ever happen to these if i send them out

[fair horizon]

just dont go too deep

[ember vine]

hoi4 is the biggest waste of money in the world

[fair horizon]

hoi4 dlcs are cheaper than sims 3 dlcs still so

[patent thistle]

then why are you even here?

[ember vine]

because i already wasted enough

[patent thistle]

Sim 3 isnt exactly the best compairing here

[snow rain]

that's 10 inf divs

[ember vine]

who da hell plays sims 3

[fair horizon]

cheaper than stellaris still iirc

[snow rain]

that's literlaly the way norway gets manpower

converts convoys into DDs by decision then deletes them

10k manpower monthly

[patent thistle]

• götterdammerung and that japan DLC are stupidly expensive still for what they get, especially the japan DLC

[fair horizon]

insane

[patent thistle]

compare that to say No Step back

[fair horizon]

japan dlc isnt worth it imo

a rework for china/japan and phillipines and the new system for factions (which imo is just terrible) and some decent special projects

[violet veldt]

It has potential

• better than old one

Plus helps powerscaling

[fair horizon]

if you're not the faction leader from what ive played of it its borderline useless

wanna be the spymaster? too bad you dont have a single star

research cooperation? too bad there too

ngl i think the saratoga is one of the best looking carriers to ever exist

[fossil dragon]

2 more added to the bag

[patent thistle]

i object

[fossil dragon]

just 17 more

[patent thistle]

USS enterprise

[fair horizon]

enterprise is pretty but i just dont like all the open parts on the front

[prisma saddle]

wich is the one with German cross?

the third

[patent thistle]

thats because she was a purpose build carrier

[fossil dragon]

as democratic japan capitulate germany

[grave sonnet]

Respect for ts I don't have the sanity & time to do all achievements

[fair horizon]

i mean yeah but look at how clean the saratoga looks

[patent thistle]

the USS lexington and saratoga were both battleship hulls

[prisma saddle]

oh alright thanks

[winged field]

is europa unversalis like hoi 4 but in medieval or is it like way different?

[fossil dragon]

it's bugged i got it on my third attempt

[fair horizon]

different

[winged field]

is it closer to crusader kings?

[fair horizon]

no

[patent thistle]

we atleast have to give some credit to shinano too

[fair horizon]

its the least paradoxlike combat you can get

[winged field]

oof

[fair horizon]

you gotta control individual divisions unlike in stellaris/eu4 where you have bigger number win (i havent played much eu4)

[rain loom]

ship

[fair horizon]

look at how ugly that open part is

thats the front

[safe wing]

It’s a Yamato class battleship converted to an aircraft carrier

[patent thistle]

thats intentional on ww2 carriers

[fair horizon]

but its still ugly

also almost converted*

archerfish saw to that

[patent thistle]

almost converted, the hull was very early in construction

when she was changed

[patent thistle]

ther was something funny called "midway" which deleted the carrier force of japan, poor akagi

[fair horizon]

casablanca carriers are so ugly but i love them too

[grave sonnet]

Hope they win

[patent thistle]

no open parts here

[fair horizon]

see i like that

[patent thistle]

too bad that the only thing taiho did was go up in flames

[fair horizon]

thats what happens when you touch our boats

dont touch our boats

[patent thistle]

i happily always touch your boats

[fair horizon]

DONT TOUCH MY BOATS

[patent thistle]

i have deleted the american navy too many times at this point

tbf its just getting boring

[fair horizon]

i wish the ai wasnt stupid with their screens

[steel zephyr]

what was austrian AI thinking

[patent thistle]

good bye turkey btw

[prisma saddle]

I was looking at the baltic and remembered they had focous tree, what i can even make the baltics?😭

[fair horizon]

baltic union

[fossil dragon]

next and final delivery

finally i have an economy again

[prisma saddle]

yea and then soviet ultimatum

💔

[steel zephyr]

framemogged

[fair horizon]

make them bleed

[patent thistle]

oh yeah i stole zhokov of the soviets so might elsewell make a few tanks to make him useful

[prisma saddle]

that could be interesting

[prisma saddle]

yea with -19999999 manpower

[fossil dragon]

you can form it as lithuania, estonia can form the nordics and latvia is just there

[fair horizon]

tbf any of the baltics can get some of the most manpower in the game

[patent thistle]

macarthur is also now officially greek

[prisma saddle]

latvia❤️‍🩹

[fossil dragon]

i mean they have ostland

[prisma saddle]

how..

[patent thistle]

(yes i am currently collecting generals like they are f***ing pokemon-)

[fossil dragon]

but you can only core baltics and belorus i think

[prisma saddle]

so annexing other baltics

[steel zephyr]

had a check back at them...

[prisma saddle]

oh Belarus

[patent thistle]

cause i also stole yamamoto of the japanese

[grave sonnet]

Sad

[prisma saddle]

🇧🇾 🇧🇾 🇧🇾 🇧🇾

[fair horizon]

they have a stupid amount of modifiers https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xW_eUSCHUsw

[fossil dragon]

yeah but other two are just way more powerful

[fair horizon]

oh thats not the right video

[fossil dragon]

only time that i play latvia was when it came out and for an achivement

[patent thistle]

@fair horizon whats your opinion about this?

[fair horizon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iLK5d73P2Q

[fair horizon]

not a fan of macarthur irl ngl

memes funny irl hes an idiot

[patent thistle]

thats gotta be "a little" awkward of a situation, macarthur and yamamoto working together

i put the soviet admiral in charge of this meme i made

so he isnt there to be useless

[fair horizon]

soviet admiral

[patent thistle]

hey zhukov was in the same package so 🤷‍♂️

[fair horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/zhukov-gif-20082782

[fossil dragon]

oh soviets have admirals totaly didn't forgot that

[sharp sierra]

andrew jackson was the best american president

[fossil dragon]

if i play i just purge them

[patent thistle]

yeah because i am guessing you are purging them

[fossil dragon]

they lose me when i see navy or admiral in the event

[prisma saddle]

holy estonia

[prisma saddle]

latvia motives to give up

[fossil dragon]

no have to try them again didn't play them since they got a focus tree

[steel zephyr]

another miserable hungary game but i have hope this time

[fossil dragon]

how you got here

did they declere or

you

[steel zephyr]

demand for transylvania, fails end ends in war. France and Czechoslovakia guaranteed Romania

I declared war on Romania by event

or well was forced to

[fossil dragon]

oh oke i thougt you went otto to puppet them

[steel zephyr]

half of the Czech force in slovak encircled though and I'm holding Slovakia good

[stiff locust]

hello everyone, Im relatively new to the game, can someone explain why this is happening?

[steel zephyr]

uh oh britain joined

[patent thistle]

zhukov shall now make himself useful in the first greek tank army

[oak mantle]

how though

[jovial temple]

I'm just too bad

Started playing at the start of this year

[violet veldt]

What are you diing

Did you flank the maginot(

[woven gate]

you've gotta go fast

that's the thing

[hidden seal]

fr they randomly declare war at france,uk and others like if they were some superpower

[woven gate]

strike the netherlands first and belgium immediately after

quickly get through with high soft attack on divisions and france leaves the road to paris open

[violet veldt]

Like they should expand south first???

Make puppets or smth

Or annex

[hidden seal]

that would be more good for factories

but no way they doing world conques with 40 factories

[hidden seal]

no one here the first hours undertood nothing,Paradoxians arent born they are made.

[ember vine]

Get it encircled lol

[violet veldt]

Just have it on port garrisons??

[patent thistle]

hey, you are now greek

too bad zhokov is better in almost every way stats wise so you are kinda useless for me

[jovial temple]

Ik but I always play as france

[timber laurel]

you lost to germaany as france

or did u lose to france as germany

[patent thistle]

you are now greek, rather you like it or not

[jovial temple]

I lost to Germany after 5 in game years

[heavy rover]

how sad

[heavy rover]

you can make any general good

just use them on spanish civil war

they get like level 4

[patent thistle]

whats the point when zhokov is just way better stats wise?

i have him for my tanks

[heavy rover]

you gonna use zhukov for infantry?

[patent thistle]

.

[heavy rover]

yeah but

you have more than 24 divisions

son

[patent thistle]

i have a lot more generals son

+de gaulle is Fr*nch so that removes more points

[heavy rover]

who even plays as french and have fun

[patent thistle]

noone because even with la resistance their tree sucks

atleast you can have fun as the US with their shitty tree by pulling a midway on japan

[heavy rover]

whats the fun of us too

you dont even get anything good from the focus tree

[patent thistle]

you can midway japan fairly easily with your purpose build carriers

[steel zephyr]

situation, started with me vs romania which france and czechoslovakia guaranteed. Invaded yugo and bulgaria because they gave the brits air access which were bombing me

austria is my puppet too

[patent thistle]

dont worry bro france will fairly easily buckle under german pressure

[steel zephyr]

no it isnt

france has been in moseland for quite a long while now

[patent thistle]

then idk you are cooked

[night field]

why do the germans continue launching offensives when they have 0 manpower left

[terse skiff]

That's because you never grinded a general in scw. You'll realize that zhukov is not a good general

[patent thistle]

yeah because it was over in like 2-4 months and i am f***ing greece?

[steel zephyr]

invaded ukraine for the love of the game

[terse skiff]

usually scw won't finish in 2-4 months but if it's ending faster than you want, you can just stop your own offensive and let republican spain lose some battles. and why tf are you talking about zhukov if you're greece?

[patent thistle]

because i have him as greece from a mod called "Ultimate greece rework"

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3671506263&searchtext=ultimate+greece

[terse skiff]

you should have been given popov and chuikov

those are the real two best soviet generals

[steel zephyr]

Germany is selling

[quasi osprey]

ha japan cant fight me

[patent thistle]

same reason i have macarthur

[terse skiff]

well you can play as you want but a grinded general is always better than built in lvl 5 generals, unless it's like eisenhower

[astral forum]

Question out of pure curiosity, anyone know why none of the pre-order songs except Bella Ciao aren't on Spotify even though they have a dlc now?

[patent thistle]

there isnt really a point to grind them if the SCW is over in a few months due to me not having la resistance

[steel zephyr]

😢

[patent thistle]

rip

[terse skiff]

we also don't discuss game tactics based on random mods

[patent thistle]

good luck with the fr*nch coming for your behind now

[steel zephyr]

will probably end the run soon i dont feel like playing rest of the game defending againts allied pushes into slovakia

expecially with these crud divisions

[patent thistle]

when it goes too bad just send it to disaster savior and let bittersteel deal with it fr

[steel zephyr]

there goes berlin

[night field]

why are the germans collapsing when i am finally starting to push into the soviets

of course they are coming to reinforce my front where there are more than enough units already

[steel zephyr]

Germany also wasted a lot of divisions garrisoning the border with Austria (my puppet) despite having a NAP with me

I eventually had to call Austria into the war so Germany would stop wasting divs on garrisoning the border

still loses anyways

[night field]

the german ai is shit

they always launch offensives until they have nothing left

[steel zephyr]

the only times it isn't shit is when Germany is invading me as Finland 😢

held out over a decade of war in one finland save

againts the entire axis and britain

[night field]

that sucks man

[steel zephyr]

it was actually pretty neat, the germans had no supply in finnmark so i routinely pushed, encircled half a dozen divisions, then retreated time and time again

the southern border was on the large rivers

Finland has very OP army modifiers probably to make up for its low manpower

[night field]

yeah

i never played finland

[steel zephyr]

invite to faction request 😭

[steel zephyr]

I used to main it but don't really play it much since getting all the achievements

I main hungary now

but i'd say over 50% of my playtime is finland

[night field]

ive played hungary for a couple games

2 lasted to 1960

i lost in 1 of them

[patent thistle]

if you join you could legit die when they cap if you arent a major lol

[steel zephyr]

aren't a major you say?

[patent thistle]

if nothing is annexed that doesnt matter

[steel zephyr]

we majors 🤤

[night field]

because germany killed vichy france and then the resistance got too strong and then a ton of allied divisions flooded in

[steel zephyr]

a lot of it is cored

[patent thistle]

alight i got it man

i thought nothing was annexed here

[night field]

their divisions have nothing left at all

and they are still launching counterattacks

[steel zephyr]

even i am going for germchuds now

[steel zephyr]

only this

[patent thistle]

rip

[night field]

germany never makes it past eastern poland when invading soviets

[patent thistle]

without my intervention the germans in my games always win so hard against the soviets it aint even funny anymore

[steel zephyr]

deadass saw one of these german divisions try to attack the french at this state 💀

[night field]

they never win in any of my games

they just attack the soviets for a year and lose everything they have and then slowly collapse

like the germans need to get out of my land

i dont want your shit divisions on my frontline

[steel zephyr]

the slop im fighting with

[severe flume]

peak

[steel zephyr]

all thats left of germany

[frank estuary]

Don't have the manpower to take out the Soviets and then hold all the land against the Germans. What should I do?

[severe flume]

let them take each other out either way once one cap its best u go all in

also nice mlp mod

[night field]

how do i force the shit german divisions out of my land i already turned their supply off

[steel zephyr]

what do i even do in this situation

[snow rain]

if you turned supply off they'll leave on their own or won't do anything that bothers you

[steel zephyr]

cant attack france because i cant bypass the rhine and maginot

[severe flume]

turn off supply for allies

[severe flume]

how did u even get to this situation

[steel zephyr]

Asked for transylvania, Romania refused which lead to Germany and me declaring war on Romania. Czechia and France guaranteed romania and so i was at war with them too. defeated romania and czechia, then invaded yugo and bulgaria since they gave the brits airbase access, then invaded ukraine for the fun of it and then invaded germany when it was about to collapse

austria is my puppet too

but france mustve joined the allies despite a fascist britain which called them in too

[night field]

i did that already man

they dont want to leave

[severe flume]

i mean u should have no trouble if u go through the benelux unless its like 1942 and france has a billion divisions

[steel zephyr]

i physically cant

[severe flume]

u dont have tanks?

[steel zephyr]

no i do just not in the quantity to cross the rhine

[severe flume]

go through the benelux

isnt germany ur ally?

[steel zephyr]

1. no i cant
2. i invaded germany

and yet again, i cant cross the rhine

[severe flume]

strat bomb the forts then

[steel zephyr]

barely got an airforce

[severe flume]

invade italy and go from the bottom

[frank estuary]

They just shifted their frontline to the Soviets. Do I risk a zerg rush to Berlin? (Then again, don't wanna overstretch.)

[steel zephyr]

son bruh you're overestimating my strength

[severe flume]

the ai is buns

u can easily beat them with 24 divisions

[steel zephyr]

even with buns ai being invaded by the states, allies and italy at the same time isnt great

[severe flume]

💀 wait it out then

get s much strat bomber as u can

then bomb their forts and supply

its not too easy rn

RT56 is pretty good if you want to play ahistorical

[steel zephyr]

entirety of finland was protected by a wall of like 60 divs across 2 tiles

reinforce memed through one and finland fell

[south mountain]

Kaiserreich has a story and pretty fun.

ah yes, "free" the balkans
